Saint HILDEGARD of BINGEN (d. 1179), the newest Doctor of the Church, wrote that when the new Pope is elected immediately before the Antichrist, a cardinal will kill the elected pope before he is crowned through jealousy, he wishing to be Pope himself. Then when the other cardinals elect the next Pope this cardinal will proclaim himself (anti) Pope, and two-thirds of the Christians will go with him. She notes that this Antipope as well as the Antichrist are descendents from the tribe of Dan. If this private revelation of St. Hildegard turns out to be true, is it possible that this Antipope, who will appear IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ANTICHRIST, might be the FALSE PROPHET predicted in the book of Revelation (Rev 16:13; 20:10; chap. 13 etc.) who will work hand in hand with the first "beast", the Antichrist, to subdue and lead the world to the Antichrist?

SATAN DISGUISE HIMSELF A AN ANGEL OF LIGHT (2Cor 11:14).

Before the second coming of Jesus Christ that day will not come, unless THE REBELLION (APOSTASY) COMES FIRST, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God (2Thess 2:3-4).

THE SECOND BEAST (the false prophet) exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. It works great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead (THE MICROCHIP), so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the MARK (OF THE BEAST!) (Rev 13).

THOSE WHO HAVE LET THEMSELVES SLOWLY SLIDE into the comfort of subjectivism and relativism, which totally surrounds us today like the air we breath, inventing the easy truth (small v) according to their heads, will be very happy with this new Judas Iscariot, who will take control of the Vatican, and who will approve their masked egoism in the name of religion. Behold THE REBELLION (APOSTASY) which we see in the last 50 years! Each person is god (Gen 3:4-5)! They will say: Oh, finally we have a modern pope, with the times, who thinks like us! One no longer asks the question what does Jesus want, one does not confront his life with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, one does not ask oneself what are the effects on others caused by ones actions, such as selling pornography for a few coins (CCC 2354), abortion ; one just does not care, despite the fact that God has given us everything we have, Who even sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for each of us on the cross! Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2Thess 2:11-12).

THE PRIESTS (CAPTAINS) AND THE BISHOPS (GENERALS) WHO HAVE SECONDED THIS SLIDE INTO RELATIVISM and the slackening with their culpable silence and their disobedience to the Vicar of Christ, the Pope, such as Humanae Vitae (1968), or the great obligation to maintain a great reverence before the infinite God in the Eucharist (Memoriale Domini, 1969), in this dour combat (CCC 409), have a much greater culpability having received a great vocation and responsibility with the corresponding graces. LET US PRAY FOR OUR PASTORS! One must struggle everyday with great effort to discover the Truth (big V), in order to live the Truth with the help of God, to be able to lead oneself and others to the Truth not only in this short life but for all eternity. God, Who is love, and thus respectful of our free will, does not coerce anyone to be with the Truth Who is God! The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God (CCC 1035). God, Who is love, respects our great dignity at the level of the angels, created in His image (Gen 1:26-27), and thus even if we live as animals without responsibility, we will be judged as human beings at the end of our life. If more people would have prayed 100 years ago, Hitler would not have been able to do what he did. Today there are much fewer people who pray with the intention of discovering and doing the will of God! We deserve what is happening and what is coming with the NEW WORLD ORDER, now rather hidden, but soon, totally in the open!

The first question that we learned in the catechism as children was: Why did God create you? And we answered: To know, love and serve God. TODAY THIS IS TOTALLY UPSIDE DOWN: religion exists for a great number of people to serve me, not to help me to serve God, not to help me to discover the will of God from the teachings of the Church guided by the Pope (Mt 16:18), not to help me to do the will of God with the help of prayer and the Sacraments (as we say in the Our Father: THY (not mine!) will be done!). The great majority of people today do not want to take even the first step to discover what God wants. The philosophy of life is: Ignorance is bliss! Bliss today, but tomorrow, and after death?!? The recent Popes tell us that the gravest sin today is that we have lost the sense of sin. One trusts in himself and not in God-Love! Jesus I trust in You! (Saint Faustina).

POPE JOHN PAUL II (AMONG MANY OTHER OCCASIONS) SPOKE FIRMLY TO THE US BISHOPS AGAINST THIS "PICK AND CHOOSE SMORGASBORD TYPE CATHOLICISM" in LA in his September 1987 visit: "It is sometimes reported that a large number of Catholics today do not adhere to the teaching of the Church on a number of questions, notably sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage. Some are reported as not accepting the Church's clear position on abortion. It has also been noted that there is a tendency on the part of some Catholics to be selective in their adherence to the Church's moral teachings. It is sometimes claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with being a good Catholic and poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. This is a grave error that challenges the teaching office of the bishops of the United States and elsewhere. I wish to encourage you in the love of Christ to address this situation courageously in your pastoral ministry, relying on the power of God's truth to attract assent and on the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given both to those who proclaim the message and to those to whom it is addressed".

The Servant of God, ARCHBISHOP FULTON SHEEN, said: The False Prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit church. Christs Church will be one. And the False Prophet will create the other. The false church will be worldly, ecumenical (false), and global. It will be a loose federation of churches, religions forming some type of global association, a world parliament of churches. It will be emptied of all divine content and will be the mystical body of the antichrist. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot and he will be the false prophet. SATAN WILL RECRUIT HIM FROM AMONG OUR BISHOPS.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (as well as 1Jn 2:18) indicates that THERE WILL BE ONE ANTICHRIST IN PARTICULAR (CCC 675): Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers (Cf. Lk 18:8; Mt 24:12).. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth (Cf. Lk 21:12; Jn 15:19-20) will unveil the mystery of iniquity in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh. (Cf. 2Thess 2:4-12; 1Thess 5:2-3; 2Jn 7; 1Jn 2:18,22).

CARDINAL IVAN DIAS AT LOURDES SAID: What meaning could the message of Our Lady of Lourdes have for us today? I love to situate these apparitions in the broader context of the permanent and fierce combat between the forces of good and evil, which will continue till the end of time. Our Lady foresees the rise of the Antichrist and his attempts to replace God in the life of men; attempts that despite their striking successes, will be nevertheless destined to failure. The cardinal counsels to pray the Rosary, and to practice the conversion of heart, and to accept sufferings for the salvation of the world. Especially now, he explains, because The combat between God and his enemy always blazes, even more today, because the world finds itself terribly swallowed up in the swamp of a secularism that wants to create a world without God; of a relativism that suffocates the permanent and immutable values of the Gospel; of a religious indifference which remains imperturbable before the superior good of the things which regard God and the Church. And then he cites John Paul II: WE ARE STANDING BEFORE TODAY THE GREATEST FIGHT THAT HUMANITY HAS EVER SEEN. I do not believe that the Christian community has totally understood this. We are today before the FINAL CONFRONTATION between the Church and the anti-Church, between the Gospel and the anti-Gospel. BUT IT IS THE WOMAN OF GENESIS AND OF THE APOCALYPSE, CONCLUDES THE CARDINAL, THAT WILL COMBAT AT THE HEAD OF THE ARMY OF HER SONS AND DAUGHTERS AGAINST THE ENEMY FORCES OF SATAN AND WILL CRUSH THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT. (Gen 3,15) (December 13, 2007).

Read the prophetic book of ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT: True Devotion To Mary.

It was interesting the Pope Benedict XVI INVITED CARDINAL BIFFI TO OFFER THE ANNUAL LENTEN RETREAT for the Pope and the top members of the Vatican (Feb. 27, 2007). The cardinal speaks often on the theme of the Antichrist. The Times of London reported in 2004 that the Cardinal described the Antichrist as walking among us. Days will come in Christianity in which they will try to reduce the salvific event to a mere series of values. It is a key passage in the last work of Vladimir Soloviev, Tale of the Antichrist, at the center of Cardinal James Biffis reflections. The Russian philosopher, who died in the year 1900 with great acumen, had prophesied the tragedies of the 20th century. In the Tale of the Antichrist, recalled the cardinal, THE ANTICHRIST PRESENTS HIMSELF AS PACIFIST, ECOLOGIST AND ECUMENIST. He will convoke an ecumenical council and will seek the consensus of all the Christian confessions, granting something to each one. The masses will follow him, with the exception of small groups of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants who will resist and will say to the Antichrist: You give us everything, except what interests us, Jesus Christ. For Cardinal Biffi, this narrative is a warning: Today, in fact, we run the risk of having a Christianity which puts aside Jesus with his cross and resurrection.

RELATIVISM, according to Pope Benedict XVI, is "the most profound difficulty of our time."

In his homily at the Mass preceding the conclave that quickly elected him Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger said: Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be "tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine", seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. WE ARE BUILDING A DICTATORSHIP OF RELATIVISM that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one's own ego and desires.

One day, I saw TWO ROADS. One was broad, covered with sand and flowers, full of joy, music and all sorts of pleasures. People walked along it, dancing and enjoying themselves. They reached the end without realizing it. And at the end of the road there was a horrible precipice; that is, the abyss of hell. The souls fell blindly into it; as they walked, so they fell. And their number was so great that it was impossible to count them. And I saw the other road, or rather, a path, for it was narrow and strewn with thorns and rocks; and the people who walked along it had tears in their eyes, and all kinds of suffering befell them. Some fell down upon the rocks, but stood up immediately and went on. At the end of the road there was a magnificent garden filled with all sorts of happiness, and all these souls entered there. At the very first instant they forgot all their sufferings. (Diary, 153).

Today, I was led by an Angel to the chasms of hell But I noticed one thing: that most of the souls there are those who DISBELIEVED THAT THERE IS A HELL (Diary, 741).

It was recounted to Pope John Paul II that the Vatican's chief exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth, knows too many bishops who do not believe in the Devil. The Pope replied bluntly: ANYONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL. Amorth said in an interview (2001): We have entire Episcopates trying to counter exorcism. We have countries completely devoid of exorcists, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. We poor buck privates are on the spiritual field of battle and many of our generals (bishops) and captains (priests) tell us that the enemy does not exist! We are in bad shape, to say the least!

SISTER LUCY OF FATIMA said to Father Agostino Fuentes, the postulator of the cause of beatification of Giacinta e Francesco (December 26, 1957): Our Lady is very displeased because it is not taken into account her message of 1917. Neither the good nor the bad have held them in consideration. Believe me my Father, the Lord will punish the world very soon; the punishment is immanent! Many nations will disappear from the face of the earth, many nations will be annihilated. The devil knows that the religious and the priests, not living up to their beautiful vocation, drag many souls to hell. The third time she said that, the other means exhausted and despised by men, He will give with trembling the last anchor of salvation which is the Most Holy Virgin in person, signs of tears, messages of seers spread in all the parts of the earth. Our Lady said that if we do not listen and if we still offend we will not be pardoned. Father, it is urgent that we realize this terrible reality. WE DO NOT WANT TO FILL THE SOULS WITH FEAR, BUT ONLY IT IS URGENT A RECALL TO REALITY. From when the Holy Virgin gave such a great efficaciousness to the Rosary, there does not exist any material, spiritual, national or international problem that cannot be resolved with THE HOLY ROSARY AND WITH OUR SACRIFICES. To recite it with devotion will be to consol Mary and to wipe away so many tears from her Immaculate Heart. Our Lady expressly said: We are approaching the end times.

Cardinal Ratzinger said: One of the signs of our times is that the announcements of 'MARIAN APPARITIONS' ARE MULTIPLYING ALL OVER THE WORLD. ("The Ratzinger Report"; 1985).

OUR LADY AT AKITA, JAPAN said (October 13, 1973: the anniversary of the great miracle of the sun on October 13, 1917 at Fatima, Portugal; also the same date (October 13  1884) of the diabolical vision of Pope Leo XIII which motivated him to compose The Prayer To Saint Michael The Archangel and to print it and send it to all the bishops of the world): As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms that will remain for you will be the Rosary and Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. WITH THE ROSARY, PRAY FOR THE POPE, THE BISHOPS, AND THE PRIESTS. The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their conferees churches and altars sacked, the Church will be full of those who accept compromise 

THE DREAM OF ST. JOHN BOSCO of the two pillars indicates to us the great importance of staying very close to Jesus in the Eucharist (while it is still possible) with our Rosary in hand.

The last part of the homily of Pope Benedict XVI; Esplanade of the Shrine of Our Lady of Fátima; before 500,000 people: 13 May 2010:

WE WOULD BE MISTAKEN TO THINK THAT FATIMAS PROPHETIC MISSION IS COMPLETE. At a time when the human family was ready to sacrifice all that was most sacred on the altar of the petty and selfish interests of nations, races, ideologies, groups and individuals, our Blessed Mother came from heaven, offering to implant in the hearts of all those who trust in her the Love of God burning in her own heart. At that time it was only to three children, yet the example of their lives spread and multiplied, especially as a result of the travels of the Pilgrim Virgin, in countless groups throughout the world dedicated to the cause of fraternal solidarity. MAY THE SEVEN YEARS WHICH SEPARATE US FROM THE CENTENARY OF THE APPARITIONS HASTEN THE FULFILMENT OF THE PROPHECY OF THE TRIUMPH OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, TO THE GLORY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY.

The centenary of the anniversary of the great miracle of the sun, October 13, 1917 at Fatima, Portugal, will be October 13, 2017! I believe that soon the Body of Christ, the Church, as a great purification, will have to go through the stage of the crucifixion as her Head, Christ, three hours on the cross, and even cry out with her Head: My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me? (Mt 27:46; Mc 15:34). This period will be the greatest tribulation in the history of the world and of the Church (Mt 24:21-22; Jer 30:7; Dan 12:1).

Let us make a good confession and changer our lives, with much prayer and sacrifices and good will, while the door of Mercy is still open.

Jesus to Saint Faustina: BEFORE I COME AS A JUST JUDGE, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice (Diary, 1146).

Jesus said to Saint Faustina (of the Divine Mercy): YOU WILL PREPARE THE WORLD FOR MY FINAL COMING (Diary of Saint Faustina, 429).

I do not know. But I thought it best to be complete. Perhaps later we will understand! God knows. But I do think it is important to continue to struggle to seek the truth each day, until our last breath here on earth!

Thank you for this posting. I have been praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet for several years daily. I think It will be 10 years next year. I had profound experiences since this daily Chaplet. I believe we have to pray while this new conclave is being decided. Very important. :) - thanks again!

I am humbled by your words. All Glory to God. Any time you pray can be the best time to pray. The best for your Holy Spirit bearings are when you wake up. LOL! I pray mostly at home or short prayers in traffic. I sometimes pray with others after mass or in adoration. Mostly at home. I try to watch the EWTN Mass every day. Reading Today’s bible reading with Salvation’s daily posts or Magnificat online or monthly magazine. I also do the powerful anointing of 3 o’clock pray from the Divine Mercy Prayer Chaplet. Both times when I can which is 3:00 pm and 3:00am.
